Be translated into 20 languages 爱和命运 家庭秘密、禁爱、新大陆的繁重劳作交织在考琳.麦卡洛这部小说里。克利里家族在20世纪早期来到了澳大利亚，在广袤的德罗海达牧场谋生。小说的时间跨越两次世界大战和经济大萧条，麦卡洛在这广阔的历史大背景下，让主人公轮流登场，上演1915年到1969年间发生的故事。 爱和命运 然而全书的核心还是菲和帕迪的独生女梅吉和英俊的教区神父拉尔夫之间不可能实现的爱情，这段爱情对未来产生巨大影响。有人认为考琳·麦卡洛将人生的全部方方面面都浓缩进了这本杰出的书里，她试图通过克利里家的沧桑和感情历程揭示这样一个道理：真正的爱和一切美好的东西是需要以难以想象的代价去换取的。 主要人物： The plot Father lost his job Received a letter from Mary The plot Arrived at Australia Met Ralph The plot Ralph treated Meggie well The plot The plot Made a new will The plot Ralph leaved The plot Her father died by a forest fires Her brother died after stabbed by a boar The plot Ralph came back and told to Meggie that he would never marry her The plot Luke was hired Meggie thought he loved her The plot 拉尔夫嫁给了上帝，梅吉嫁给了卢克 The plot Luke married Meggie just for the money, and he was not good to Meggie The plot After having a night with Ralph, she decided to leave Luke.
